Each poster is hand-printed and handled, to make sure that only the highest quality is offered and sent out. The matte paper and high quality of inks make for a vibrant image which looks great both framed, and au-naturel. Printed in Los Angeles, CA, on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper, heavyweight stock, high color gamut, using Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. Framed posters offer the same, museum-quality printed poster, but wrapped in a protective black frame. The frame is lightweight and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector, so it won't break in the mail. International orders may be subject to customs duties & taxes.

Artist Statement

The Fleur-de-lis is recognized everywhere as a French pattern, and most especially is associated with the time period that The Three Musketeers takes place in. I wanted to combine that with the idea of the three swords of the musketeers, and make that the main focal point of the cover. The background and fonts I used convey a feeling of being both old and timeless. The whole thing together is abstract yet I hope intriguing and inviting as well. — Elizabeth Firmage
